PpRIs, June %, 1887.
Alsace not having voted solid in
February last at the general cleo
tions, for Bismarck's true blue
candidates for the Reichstag, the
chancellor has taken it out of few
of her French lovers, by accusing
them of dabbling with high treason.
That is the moral of the LEIPZIG
political trials. The gravamen of
the indictment is, that the accused
were more or less affiliated to the
Patriotic League, founded by Paul
Deleroude a gentleman who enter
tains strong ideas ON the subject of
Germany wrenching off one million
and half of his co-Alsatians from
France, to which they are so affec-
tionately attached since two CEN
turtles. 1t is well-known, that Prince
Bismarck hates Deleroude as heart
lily as he does Boulanger. But
France has never accepted Dele
roude as her representative of
patriotism, no more than score of
the other manly-sport Societies,
whose members are not content with
their country having been van
guished. If they keep alive the
sacred fire, so does Germany her
own Kriegerverein, for similar end.
Since 1871, France has her young
men's-not Christian, but patriotic
societies, and their ramilications in
Alsace cannot have been very threa-
tening for the unity of Germany, as
even with the aid of detectives and
their satellites, the informers, not
more than half a dozen persons have
been formally accused, after sixteen
years, of suspected conspiracy!
OF the four condemned, NJ.
Kpchlin is the most conspicuous sent
to reside in the classmates. He is q
cousin of Jules Ferry and M. Flo
quet, on the side their wives. He
is a French subject, authorized to
reside in Alsace, where he owns i'm
portant spinning mills. He is also
French militia officer. Independ-
ent of being connected in a general
way with the French Kriegeryerein,
he was charged with the heretical
doctrine, of refusing the hand of
his daughter to a German-the jews
do not like to have dealings with the
Samaritaus. However, England was
on the point of going to war with
France, because the Due de Mont
pensier made q Gretna marriage,
etc., with the queen of Spain's sister
forty years ago, M. KGchlin was
also culpable of the capital sin, of
admiring Gambetta, and of writing
an "impromptu" address, intended
to be delivered over that statesman's
tomb, but. which never was.
For Alsatians being still on with
the old love, and not preferring the
new, Germany makes Star
chamber matter of their affection.
And to think there are one and a
half million of individuals-not
counting the four condemned, guilty
of the same impalpable crime. The
Chancellor ought to present a decree
of clemency, the FIRST time the Kali
ser is able to appear in the hook of
his favorite window of the palace,
for his signature. That would be
the way to heap Goals of fire on the
head of the Gauls, and perhaps win
a few sleeps eyes from the Asa
tians themselves, as honey ever
catches more flies than vinegar. If
If not, Boulanger, poetry, and ina
gerry will go up still higher in the
market. In any case, the course of
true love never did run smoothly.
Here is another example of it.
A joint stock company for abduc-
ting, is the latest novelty. First
spot your, not prince, but heiress
next, enroll pals, giving them a
written promise to pay so much out
of the captured's fortune, in case
the plot goes as merry as a mar
riage bell. According to Senior
Ruban, her notary and man of bust
ness, that's the way Mademoiselle
de Campos-Madame de Santutonia
not Antonio, was whisked away
from the side of her lady guardian,
while driving down the Avenue in
the Bots de Boulogne, IN full Rot
ten Row hours. Mile. de Campos
had an immense fortune which
yielded her the tempting revenue of
two million francs yearly. Marshal
de Serrano deemed her good catch
for his-well, say, son-Comte de
San Antonio, to marry. The we'd
ding came off in Paris, as the cum
ming old soldier knew, you might as
well try to govern France with the
dual control of the Comte de Paris,
and the Prince Napoleon, as to OBJ
tain the annulment of civil mar
riage once duly contracted. One
fine morning Paris was astonished
on learning that the Countesse de-
clined to live any longer with her
husband: after three months of
